[[2 Chron-27]] Prev: [[Prophecies in 2 Chron-26]] | Next: [[Prophecies in 2 Chron-28]] --- ### He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: King Jotham successfully waged war against the Ammonites, subduing them and exacting a massive annual tribute of silver and grain for three consecutive years. *Historical context*: The subjugation of the Ammonites by Jotham is viewed by biblical scholars as a fulfillment of the judgment against the children of Ammon prophesied by Amos ([[Am-01#v13|Amos 1:13]]-15), a contemporary prophet who predicted divine punishment for Ammon's regional aggression and atrocities. *Related to*: [[Am-01#v13|Amos 1:13]]-15 ### So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Jotham's military power, economic strength, and building projects are directly attributed to his steadfast obedience and religious reforms. *Historical context*: This verse records the historical realization of the blessings promised in the Mosaic Covenant ([[Deut-28#v1|Deuteronomy 28:1]]-14). According to this covenant, if a leader or the nation remained faithful to God's laws, they were promised victory over enemies and prosperity in the land ('the head and not the tail'). *Related to*: [[Deut-28#v1|Deuteronomy 28:1]]-14 ### Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David's city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Upon Jotham's death, the throne transitioned peacefully to his son Ahaz, ensuring the continued line of the Davidic dynasty. *Historical context*: The succession of Ahaz continues the long-term fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant established in [[2 Sam|2 Samuel 7]], where God promised David that his descendants would occupy the throne of Jerusalem perpetually. Jotham's successful reign and the transfer of power to his son maintained this messianic bloodline. *Related to*: [[2 Sam-07#v12|2 Samuel 7:12]]-16 --- #ai_prophecy
